What was your favorite cheap eats from the video? And let me know any cheap eats that I should check out if we do a part 2!👇

[@emiliay5636]

everything looked amazing 😍😍

[@MieralMomen]

Yummm! I can’t choose!❤

[@fowlerk531]

Banh cuon looked so good!!

[@lizlorenzsonn9999]

The dosa would be my pick, but at those prices I think I could justify trying a few extra ❤

[@freckledprince8015]

Hajime Ramen cus I spotted that gluten free ramen on their menu 🥹🎉❤ stuck with a gluten allergy and always craving noodles 😢 thanks for your video!! I can't wait to try it 🥳

[@eccentricpastiche9258]

Hi MeiMei & MeiMei's mom! I'm glad mom was part of this video - I adore her!

[@emilywynstra]

Such a tasty, well rounded tour. OMG the chewy dense noodle bowl at Paik's looked so delicious and how fun to have the live fire wok going while the customers eat?! Really adds to the experience. Loved seeing mama make another appearance too!!! Thanks Meimei, sending love 💗

[@AlyssaKathleen]

Love videos with Mama Mei! Hopefully she will be in part 2 ❤

[@eiaeiayo]

your mom is the cutest !! 🥹 if you find the food comforting, that's how I feel about your videos!

[@KLowe-of5yz]

This was a great video, but got even BETTER with the appearance of your mom! I've missed her! I think it's because my mom and I would go out for meals and had so much fun together. Please more videos with your mom if she has time. 😊❤

[@__robochick__8165]

meimei do you think you could ever do at least just one vegetarian / vegan food places tour ? I’m vegetarian and I would love to see ur recommendations!!!

[@haley.a]

yes this will be greatt

[@siva-ro1sj]

OMG YES

[@LH-qi5fv]

Please 🙏🏻

[@scottfiller972]

Pinoy BBQ ATBP = AT IBa Pa (spoken like its written). "At iba pa" translated means - etcetera or more literally "and other stuff". It's a typical thing for Filipinos to do a lot of plays on words, thus "ATBP". Thanks for the video!

[@bonitachiu9962]

Love your cheap eats videos! Extra special with Mama Meimei. She is fun to watch.

[@theamezcuafamily6098]

I love when you do videos with your mom it warms my heart . So sweet to have those memories recorded with her!

[@viviantran9457]

Love the surprise cameo from Mama Meimei! My favorite was the wontons! 🥟

[@JaneeMcClain]

I love when you include your mom, she’s so sweet! ❤

[@independencestnola]

Great video! It’s such a relief to see we can still eat for $12! And who doesn’t love your mom???

[@andrewbraj]

Omg I loved this video! Plus, your mom is such a great companion in your food tours! Ok, you have to try Iraklis in Santa Clara sometime soon! They just opened up, many menu items fall under $12, their food is deliiiish, AND the team there is SO friendly! Thanks for a great video! 😊

[@AnaGalloL]

your mom and you are so adorable, thanks for share the warm interaction

[@missymakita4663]

Taking notes for my next trip to South Bay.📝😋 Always a joy to see your mom too!❤️

Hahahhaha omgg your mum is amazing and so cute, delish deleeesh!!! awe we need more of her in our lives pretty please 🫶🥰

[@martellafaith06]

Pinoy BBQ (barbeque) ATBP is the acronym for "At iba pa". In english it translates to 'and other things' or etcetera. I migrated to the Bay Area 20 years ago from Manila, and Pinoy BBQ ATBP remains to be my family's favorite filipino spot.

[@user-in3ck4hj5q]

It’s always nice when Mom makes a guest appearance. Great job!

[@Yay3reika]

As a houseplant lover myself, I think we need a Mama Meimei houseplant tour!!!

[@keithwillis3761]

I love Bay Area focused reviews. Thanks!

[@belle132]

The way I cheered when Mom came on. I'm so sorry to my neighbors hahahaha

[@dsjohuang]

Thank you for all the recommendations!

[@BNOBNO408]

I go for a gyro over a falafel most of the time. Try the falafel sandwich next time. Also, they’re really famous for their banana shake. It’s a winning combo! My six year old can’t get enough of the shake.

[@_.Zen0_]

i remember watching you during a quarantine, you’ve grown so much!

[@lili-anhleminh9949]

My fave Banh beo place! I used to spend a few weeks at my grandma’s in San Jose every summer and that was one of my requests every time!

[@christopherodonnell876]

Pro-tips for Huong Lan, specifically the Newark location: 1. Best banh mi is the xiu mai (meatball) with a fried egg added. 2. They make really good pho.

[@CocoAmande]

Hey gal, Another yummy food video awaits us ❤ I hope you’ve had a great weekend, you deserve it. Lots of love 🥰 x

[@feedmeimei]

aw thank you!! i hope you had a great weekend as well 🥰🥰

[@luluh194]

Great video meimei ❤

[@maryrosesanluis143]

Over here in Whittier, California we have Arturo's Puffy Taco and that place was featured in Food Network... their puffy tacos are the best if you have your taco shells puffed up. Try some puffy tacos

[@oakplant]

Yay!!! I love seeing mom in this video. Deeeeeelish squared ❤❤

[@cherishliu7656]

Yay! A new vid from Meimei!!! ❤

[@feedmeimei]

hehe we're back with a new one!!! hope you enjoy it 🥰🥰

[@dottiedevillier3587]

Great picks many of the places you tried look amazing but hands down Ramen Hajime is our favorite place to go. Great to see your Mom again, always love her in your videos. ♥

[@branchesandtwigs]

[@debrachan1899]

Listening to you eat the Vietnamese Bahn Mei sandwich with the crunch made me hungry! The Dosa looked delish too!

[@ginawethington5246]

Great video - Love seeing your Mom in your videos !! and Bird LOL

[@julsunnails1215]

I grew up near Falafel Drive In and Im so happy it still looks as good as I remember it! I love your videos. I’ve been super homesick and Im taking notes on your videos for when I get back to San Jose for a visit next year. Also, your mom is so cute! ❤

[@urbestie_riah]

can’t wait to go up to the bay to try these!!! ❤❤❤

[@feedmeimei]

[@photog14]

[@andrewkozel7387]

Part 2 please!!! Ty :))))

[@noelletardieu4757]

Your Mom is so cute!

[@kerryskerry6costello334]

[@thekristineway]

[@ohhellothere25]

Love tai kee wonton!

[@kaylaslife19]

Thank you so much cheap is exactly what I want to hear when I am craving good food but don’t want to break the bank !

[@foodlovescyn]

My fav was that crunch from that bite with the banh mi!

[@annedavidson1726]

Great tasty fun video💜

[@haikyufan1556]

Can’t wait to go to the South Bay again 🥹🥹

[@Chillingdarwin12354]

Early! Can't wait to watch another masterpiece!

[@feedmeimei]

aw you're so sweet!! hope you enjoy the video 🥰

[@emanuellameloguimaraes722]

Your mom is so cute !! Love her ❤

[@kristinshank2257]

Protect your mom at all costs, she’s so adorable ☺️ ❤

[@ShirleyWang414]

I love your mom! She's soooo cute!

[@denisekelekolio3424]

Mmmm, all the different dishes looked so yummy! Glad there was some kind of representation from Hawaiʻi with the loco moco. I find it funny how local style plate lunches are called "Hawaiian food" on the continent.

[@kristaljoy408]

Pinoy BBQ and Ramen Hijame are both my family's favorite spots!! Glad to see them both on your list!

[@awooshio]

i went to madras cafe alll the time as a kid, and i would always get the masala rava dosa (white sauce is my fav). brings back so many memories

[@feedmeimei]

ooo i'll have to get that one next time!! i'm craving it again already hehe. thank you for watching! 🥰🥰

[@darrylk808]

How about comparing Hawaiian bbq places? There are so many... Also, my favorite Filipino restaurant is Chibog in SSF. So good.

[@drizzydrea9926]

I will go from south city to San Jose for huong lan! My mom and I love watching! Especially when your mom is in the video too 😊

[@Islandcandies5963]

I went to Oli Oli Hawaiian last night. Thanks to this video. I had garlic shrimp and just fried malasadas. Omg heaven !

[@melissamengxuanlu2216]

Thank you for the video. It’s hard to find good and cheap food in Bay Area restaurants now, I know where to go next time in that area!

[@debgunson2967]

Love your mum.😊

[@sofiaminivlogs]

I am finally early to one of your videos

[@ShawnTuber_home]

So cute to add Mom. I'll have to check out this Filipino AM place. Thanks for sharing! For watch here. 😊

[@jadehom8067]

Great video...Hi Mei and mom 😊...surprised you didn't take her to the noodle place 🤔 (cheung fun)...part 2, you take mom there 😉🙊

[@audreyyu8531]

away for college rn and watching you bite into the banh mi made me homesick :,) always went to the newark location for the cold cut one

[@Miss.831]

I recommend on Santa Teresa Blvd the Hawaiian BBQ place. The sign says Daily Donuts and Hawaiian BBQ haha. You know how San Jose is. 😂 It’s amazing though. The Hawaiian BBQ chicken is amazing. It’s in the Plaza De Santa Teresa. 💖 The large plate is $12 something and the regular is $9 something. Definitely recommend going.

[@brandoncarpenter9681]

We love cheap eats and meimei boba straws

[@ravikrao]

I'm glad you visited Madras cafe. One of my favorite spots. I'm actually posting this while at the restaurant

[@KpopN_AZN]

Can't believe I drive by that area every day and didn't know of Paik's Noodle. Definitely will try now. Jajangmyeon looked good.

[@pawliwhirl]

I love cheap eats videos!! Not all the way through yet, but idk if anything will beat bánh cuốn! 😋

[@feedmeimei]

yesss and that was a surprise bonus spot! so glad we decided to try it!

[@pawliwhirl]

@@feedmeimei so cheap too!! 😯

[@tk_kaine]

Man I remember when Huong lan was $1.25 a sandwich when I was a kid. Crazy the inflation, but still on the cheaper side for a great banhmi.

[@daisycutz3158]

I love your videos!!! Can you please do one but for the city of Los Angeles please!!

[@anosora_]

hey!!! nice video!! Everything looks sooo delicious!! and Dang everything is such a steal😡😡😡 Anyways, I hope you can come to florida and review food in the tampa bay area! ps: tomorrow is my bday!!!

[@ninelreyes209]

Honestly the jajamyon I would try 🙌🏻

[@misora4ever]

Hi I’m early and u make everything seem yummy

[@feedmeimei]

we love the early squad!!! hope you enjoy the video 🥰

[@agdah]

Thank you for the update!!! A request, we always have such a hard time finding good places to eat after 9:00 pm. Can you one day suggest some places that you recommend?

[@eunicechoi344]

Love your videos! Check out slices at the new location of Sliver in Fremont for part 2!

[@sueholdener4135]

The dosa. I’m going to go check that place out.
